For anyone who’s ever faced a personal challenge, it doesn’t get much better than the 'Six Minutes' speech in VISION QUEST. This scene wasn’t in the 1979 novel by Terry Davis. Elmo's monologue was written specifically for the film by screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan (THE LAST DETAIL, TAPS). Actor J. C. Quinn absolutely knocks it out of the park here.

If you’d like to support the @FMJDiary project, you can bid on an original poster below. I signed and inscribed it with Elmo’s iconic line: “It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.”

You can’t avoid pain in life; but, you can stay open to love, beauty and meaning in spite of it.

Regardless of your hockey team, this Stanley Cup Finals intro is absolutely unbelievable…

Ray Bourque interview, @TheKillers ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ playing, Jon Hamm narrating… Just perfection. Made me tear up.

Extremely well done 👏🏽👏🏽

Well-said, @Jaws960608. Well-said.

[Jaws @Jaws960608]

Sully’s got 8 SEC reg season/tourney titles, former players up and down MLB rosters, a national title, and played in the national championship game as recently as 2023. You don’t “fire” that résumé, dummies.

That does not mean there isn’t plenty for us fans to bitch about and plenty that Sully needs to change, adapt and adjust to. Great coaches in all sports have to self-reflect and tweak things. That’s where Sully finds himself.

Elite reminder for this Tuesday (6.2) from @AlanSteinJr

Well-worth the time to read & reflect on / think about...

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

There are only 2 things in this world you have 100% control over 100% of the time:

Your attitude.
Your effort.

That’s it.

You can’t control the economy.
You can’t control the competition.
You can’t control other people’s opinions, decisions, or actions.

But you can control how you choose to show up.

Every day.

With energy.
With discipline.
With gratitude.
With intentional effort.

High performers understand this. They stop wasting emotional bandwidth on things outside of their control and pour everything they have into the things that are.

Because when your attitude is strong and your effort is consistent… you put yourself in position to handle whatever life or business throws your way.
